A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 2001 Returning from the inspection.(The body is moving.)
Office of the Demon King Valerie.
"Ah... Ah, I told you... the Third Army is going to be tough."
Valerie murmured with her elbows in the office after the exercise.
"Your Majesty, you went to inspect the 2nd and 5th Army exercises, right?
Is there a problem? "
The First Army Commander's assistant is in the room.
"I don't know... I kinda put my temper into the Third Army..."
"Eh? Bloody... do you have enough beds in the infirmary?"
The Commander's assistant is sending a trap.
"... verbally."
I see.
That must have been a good stimulus. "
"Hmm... I told you to move the broken castle hammer to the test stage and deliver it to each army."
"That's what everyone thought.
Thank you, Your Majesty. "
"Hmm, I don't regret what I said, but I think we're going to test the broken castle hammer while reproducing the Demuro customs for some exercises.
There's a lot to do. "
"Well, the 3rd Army's main task is to repair roads, build bridges, and move all troops quickly, rather than fighting.
In this expedition, we are looking for ways to quickly build bridges in the unlikely event that bridges are destroyed and rivers fail to pass on the road after Seki.
Most of the lumber is sourced locally, but they also said they would take the core from here. "
"Is that what you're talking about in discussions with the armies?"
"Yes, it's a gathering of the Commander's Assistants from each of our forces."
Well, if you don't do it, the damage to the First Army and the Second Army will increase.
"Yes, please.
And, Your Majesty, you're about to have a meeting with each army, right? "
"Um... Talomati told me it was two days later.
I am told that we will confirm the method of the invasion at this stage.
You've got the Commander's aides, right? "
"Yes, let me give you an overview. It's a plan to drop everyone from the north side of Sekiguchi."
"... yeah, you said it very easily.
But... I'm not going for the first three days. "
"Yes, for convenience... it is five days until the suppression of the capital of the country of Demulo (over there)."
"... hmm... is there enough food?"
"In case of a war, we have a month to run without any problems.
However... in 5 days, you may be more likely to destroy important documents. "
"... do you want to organize another squad?"
"In that case, it is an isolated and helpless battle while we are fighting each other in Seki.
The risk is multiplied several times. "
"Maps, totals of production of domestic products, summaries of taxes, registers of towns and villages, trade details and contracts with the Willip Union, past exchanges, money flows... the information you want is like a mountain."
"Yes, when all of them burn down, it's just hard to gather information again.
For our part, we would like to seize it immediately after the war, given the rule that followed. "
"Do you know the location of the country's major government offices?"
"Yes, we have a map of the capital, and we have reports that the 4th Army has infiltrated the area and is conducting a geographic check.
In addition, although not definitive, there were reports that the size of the military presence in each location was also being checked. "
"Well done.
I can't see the elements of losing, but... how's the power ratio to me? "
"We currently have 22,000 troops in all five armies.
In contrast, the total number of resident soldiers in the country of Demuro is 5200.
The composition ratio is 4,000 magicians and 1,200 slaves.
How much it costs in time of war... depends on the calculation. "
"Do you think the whole city will be armed?"
"When faced with the survival of the nation, the inhabitants' decisions are predictable... It is not dangerous to take one city together.
Therefore, it seems that the 4th Army is in contact around the luxury store to avoid armed arousal... but it does not seem to be pleasant. "
"Well... can't you find someone to help you?
In reality, there's still no sense of crisis over there that we're going to attack.
I wonder if it's unacceptable as a real problem.
It's also a problem for us to pass on too much information and get our defenses tight. "
"Yes, the Fourth Army Commander seems to be in trouble."
"Hmm... I just need you to do your best.
Well, let's ask around at the meeting.
So, what did you bring? "
The Commander's aide points to a document that is stuck on Valerie's desk.
"Er... this? Oh, no... this way?Ah, isn't this... this one? "
Valerie lifted the documents up one after the other, and the Commander's aide shook his head, but the third one caught him.
"Um... about the kidnapping organization...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yes.
2nd Army 1st Battalion and 4th Army 2nd Battalion were tracking and monitoring. "
"Ah... it seems so... I was supposed to appoint you because you'll be able to deal with it even if it gets rough...
Hmm... haven't you put your hand out yet? "
Valerie is looking at the report and talking to the Commander's aide.
"Yes, it was an attack from a competitor in the same industry.
Here is an additional report.
I just left. "
The Commander's aide puts the paperwork in front of Valerie.
"This is the report on the back... huh... you can do it.
Don't do what you missed in the Kingdom of Briani... make it look like you crushed it (...).
Did you take in the substance? "
"Yes, I looked into it and it seems that the name of the organization has changed regularly (...).
Incidentally, the captains at the scene said, "When the surveillance continued as if the battle was too beautiful (...), it seemed that those who had entered and exited the Mansion were still alive and tracking them down.
And I have confirmed that you are entering and exiting another organization's mansion, so I am reporting that you are currently monitoring us. "
"Mmm, well done.
I almost got fooled. "
"Yes, the kidnapping damage is minimal for now.
The children have not been touched.
The infiltrators seem to be getting in touch without any problems. "
"Well... tell each unit to 'act with caution and without relaxing tension'."
Got it.
The Commander's assistant nodded.
